🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome and Foreword

Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop!

Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition. Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing.

I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Enjoy reading the description.

🎹 Information about the Item for Sale

I am offering an absolute masterpiece of vintage Italian keyboard history: the legendary Farfisa VIP 345. Produced in Italy during the golden era of the 1970s, the VIP series represents Farfisa's premium, professional advancement into fully transistorized combo organ technology. This heavy-duty, highly characterful keyboard single-handedly defined the sound of progressive rock, garage rock, psychedelic pop, and underground electronic arrangements.

The Farfisa VIP 345 is highly sought after by collectors and modern producers due to its extraordinarily distinct tonal character and specialized performance features:

• The Famous Syntheslalom Effect: One of Farfisa's coolest engineering feats! This built-in foot- or panel-controlled automated pitch-bender glides the note upward to the correct pitch every time a key is struck. It gives your playing a highly unique, fluid, and synth-like expression.
• Tactile Drawbar Switching Matrix: Utilizing Farfisa's unique multi-colored drawbar scheme (Green for Flutes, Orange for Percussion, and Yellow for Special Effects/Sustain). It allows you to freely layer and blend raw Flutes, Horns, Brasses, Reeds, and multi-footage mixtures for a monumental, cutting tone.
• Percussion, Repeat, & Wah-Wah Engines: Features classic percussive tones with switchable single/multiple triggering, a rhythmic "Repeat" effect with adjustable speed, and a responsive, warm analog Wah-Wah router.

Technically, this Farfisa VIP 345 is in excellent operational condition. Vintage 1970s analog transistor organs feature extensive key-contact buses, frequency dividers, and multi-spring sliders that are notoriously prone to dirt and failure. This specific unit has been meticulously open-chassis serviced. Every internal divider card has been inspected, the keys switches are cleaned, and all colored drawbars scale effortlessly. Optically, the organ is beautifully preserved, exhibiting a stunning, imposing retro studio presence with only light, normal signs of handling consistent with its proud vintage age.

Please note: This listing includes the Farfisa VIP 345 combo organ and its power cable.
